Quebec gets its' own Tea Party


http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/856919--quebec-s-tea-party-is-born


"MONTREAL—He’s not Glenn Beck, the bombastic archconservative Fox News broadcaster who is prone to spontaneously crying on TV and currently a hero of the American right alongside former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

But Eric Duhaime may just be as audacious in pushing forward a plan to bring fed-up Quebec conservatives together in a new network that happens to share more than a few values with the ascendant Tea Party movement in the U.S., of which Beck and the self-dubbed “Mama Grizzly” Palin are the best-known faces.

And to do it, no less, in the province widely considered the most left-wing in Canada.

In launching this week their Réseau Liberté-Québec (RLQ) — the Quebec Freedom Network — Duhaime and five other founders assure they’re not building a new party but rather promoting values they say are sorely under-represented here
